GAME: MONOPOLY FOR YOUR ENTERPRISE PURSUIT

Have you ever played
the game Monopoly before this time? If your answer is yes, how far have you
applied it in real life?

If your answer is no,
you need to learn and play it on a regular basis.

I could remember when I was growing up, my house and the next
house in my neighbhourhod where Cheese centers, while one of my uncle's house,
which was about 2 kilo metres away from my house, was a Monopoly centre.

Not to say you must
play these games at these venues, but if you want to really enjoy these games,
go to the appropriate quarters.

Then we used to have
Scrabble, Ludo (normal & Snake), Whot (normal & Joker), and other games (both
local & foreign). Then, it was almost an
abomination to be caught playing Draft.

But being an inquisitive
child, I learnt it, played it, and got some gifts from adults; I won most of
the time.

While playing all these
games , they never made real sense to me until later in my life. They began to
make sense to me as events in life began to unfold and as I kept learning
through books, Experiences, observation, questioning, browsing the internet and
many other ways.

This weekend, Playing Monopoly
will be our leisure activity. No movies,
no books, just Monopoly.

As an Enterprise
player, Monopoly is a must learn; it can be applied in all aspects of your
pursuit.

I just want to touch a
few areas about the game that are more pronounced in our everyday life in this
part of the world.

These aspects have made
and marred people in the past and present. To be made in life you need to make
up your mind to address these aspects of life both in business and career.

The areas I want to
talk about are the ecosystem and the rules in the Monopoly game. Other aspects
will come up in our next discussion on the game.

1.The
ecosystem: Business and Career – the enterprise- is all about the ecosystem. The
community chest Cards in Monopoly makes you interact or engage with other
businesses or organisations around you, such as the bank, Doctor, Opera house,
Stock Broker, Hospital, Beauty Pageant and City Repairman.

As a small business
owner or an aspiring career professional, you are building your business/career
in an ecosystem having Entrepreneurs, Investors, mentors, Customers, Helpers, Artisans
and the like.

You are not an Island,
so you must learn to deal with these people appropriately to grow your
business/advance your career. You need people;you cannot do it along no matter
how smart you think you are.

Keep building a
network/relationships;you don’t know where help for your small business growth
or the next employment opportunity will come from.

For instance, in the
game, when you find it difficult to land 3 properties in a series, all you need
do is build relationships with fellow players to move to the next level, which
is the construction of your house. and that calls for negotiating,
synergizing and Collaborating with
others to achieve your goals and objectives.

In addition to other fields listed above, you’ll also need the services of Lawyers, Accountants, Financial
planners, Teachers and the like, to easy your pursuit for you.

Caution: As much as
networks/relationships are important, you don’t have to rely on them. Just leave
an open mind and be self-sufficient in your finances.

Treat people justly so
they will not hesitate dealing with you each time the need arises. When you don’t
treat people well, they’ll naturally shy away from you never to come back.

2.The
rules of the game are a test on your integrity:

If you intentionally take a shortcut through
the game by rolling three doubles in a roll, you will land yourself in jail.

You must understand
that every system has rules and if you break the rules, the system will break
you and your life will never remain the same. Going to jail will earn you a
bad reputation in life. Avoid it!

Don’t be deceived,
there are no short cuts to success. To move
up the the leather of life in a steady and sure way, you must be seen as a person of integrity in
all your dealing.

In this part of the
world where cutting corners is almost a normal life style, you may not
necessarily go to jail but you’ll dent your image.Integrity is a social capital that can be traded with, any day, anytime. Without integrity you lose so much without knowing.

Hard and smart work
with God’s grace is the sure way to building lasting wealth.

CONCLUSION:

Everything boils down
to you. Your successes and failures boils down to you. It’s an open market, where
you take your decisions considering the rules on ground.

Take responsibility for
your life. You can’t afford to blame anyone for your failures and at the same
time you cannot take all the credit for your successes; you work in an
ecosystem. Learn to appreciate and recognize others as part of your success.
